We made, on an average, about thirty miles a day; but our deer often came in at night completely exhausted, and the sharp ivory goads of our Tunguse drivers were red with frozen blood.
One of the Turk's seven sons produced a saz toward the end a little Turkish drum, and accompanied with swift, staccato stabs of sound that spurred her like the goads of overtaking time toward the peak of full expression faster and faster wilder and wilder freer and freer of all limits, until suddenly she left the thing unfinished, and the drum-taps died away alone.

I plot and I plan all the day I can not buy a newspaper without hesitating and debating I am like a ragpicker going about the streets! Sometimes the thing goads me so that I think I must go mad when I think of the time that I lose, of the power, of the courage! I walk miles when I am exhausted, to save a car-fare!

On the right Pluto bears away Persephone in his arms in a chariot drawn by two fantastic horses, which an attendant urges furiously forward with a caduceus. On the left Ceres, with wildly-floating hair, leaps into a tearing chariot drawn by two winged serpents, which Cupid goads onward with a flaming torch.

The words of Seneca are like those described in Ecclesiastes, "they are as goads or as nails driven in." There is no possibility of missing their point, no fear of the attention not being arrested.
The perception of it is a spur which goads me at times so that I feel as if I could do almost anything to lessen the sum of it. But then, you see, my hands are tied, so that all I can do is think, think, think." "We must change that to work, work, work," I said. "It is too late," she answered despondently. "Body and mind have suffered mind and body. All that is not wrong in me is weak.
The man has no saddle and he holds his long legs straight forward to prevent his feet from touching the ground, and from time to time he guides or goads the donkey with a little sharp-pointed stick.
Twice over his cob hesitated at a monstrous piece of rock. And each time Bart nearly lost his seat; but he recovered it and raced on. Faster and faster they swept along, the Indian followers of the Beaver urging their horses on by voice and action, while the yells of the Apaches acted like so many goads to the frightened beasts.
